Hello,
    I've got a Maxster 1.2 gb drive with my version of Drdos #703 installed
on it and want to know how to get this drive to be "bootable" in a different
computer.  I think what is needed is the re-writing of the master boot
record but aren't certain about this and can someone confirm that for me?
Also, if that's all that is needed then how would I exactly write the
command? using the Drdos format?
    I of corse would like to avoive a complete reformat of the drive in
order to save the two partitions of information that I already have on this
drive.  Will that be possible?  I am aware that it has something to do with
rewriting the information to the computers memory.
                                                      Thanks,
     Mark
